Edited by Hansy (07 Jun 2017 2.09pm) I'm very curious as to what the 1.9bn was spent on, because most of the vulnerability of government systems is due to the increasingly aged operating systems in use. I'm betting its on 'experts, specialists and advisors' "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]
